These odd but brilliant Amazon products are selling out for a reason. They boost your efficiency, brighten your day, and improve your home in ways that you might not expect — and if you’re hesitant to click the “add to cart” button, most of them are backed up by hundreds (if not thousands) of rave reviews.

Whitening your teeth by spreading black powder all over them might seem a little counter-intuitive, but the 15,000-plus reviews on this Active Wow Charcoal Powder don’t lie.

It works on general yellowing as well as discoloration from coffee, smoking, tea, and wine, and it even has orange seed oil for gum health. The before and after pictures are astonishing. $20 — Shop Now
